The Three Waves of Globalization: A History of A Developing Global Consciousness (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of The Three Waves of Globalization: A History of A Developing Global Consciousness Tuesday, October 6 2009.

• Globalization requires a new reading of the human story. Historian Robbie Robertson argues that the human interconnections slowly developing since pre-history achieved global proportions for the first time 500 years ago. A globalized humanity needs a new consciousness of itself to avoid the upset threatened by ethnic and national tensions, environmental catastrophes, and a new democratic divide. Our nascent global consciousness, Robertson urges, needs to be fostered to effect global solutions based on an inclusive reading of history, economic democratization, and individual empowerment.
